My INITIAL RESPONSE
I see a patchwork quilt of colors and shapes and textures.
Wayne Thiebaud’s landscapes “from a different point-of-view” fascinate me.
I have flown over many states. I find that most look similar, though not the same.
To me, he depicts the American rural landscape in this picture – it could be any state and any time.

Formal Analysis 3: The Elements
LINE– actual lines define the rows in the field.
SHAPE –both organic and geometric shapes. Organic shapes in the trees and shadows. The fields are geometric shapes.
COLOR – The color scheme is Complementary: The colors used in the whole image are based on complimentary pairs: red-violet & yellow-green; purple & yellow; blue & and orange.
FORMAL ANALYSIS continued
3 Elements – name and show/explain an example of each one.

Formal Analysis 4 - Principles
BALANCE – Asymmetrical image: the left and right sides of the image are not the same. Visual balance is equal.
REPETITION – trees, red-violets and polyhedrons (multisided geometric shapes) repeat throughout the image.
UNITY – image tied together by the repeating colors, shapes and the directional forces of the y-shaped river.
FORMAL ANALYSIS continued_____
3 Principles – name and show/explain an example of each one.

Context 1 – Societal and Issues Contexts
Wayne Thiebaud is a Pop artist – considered a part of the Pop Art Movement.
During the 1960s up to today, the societal and cultural context of California has been filled with issues ranging from drugs to LGBTQ rights, to economic issues, to Civil Rights and policing issues.
But Thiebaud is not like Warhol and other Pop artists who had and have a foundation in social issues and protests.
Thiebaud is more focused on consumer culture, West Coast optimism, and the art of “place”. Lives in Northern California and is inspired by where he lives and works, and by popular culture.
Context 1: Societal and Issues contexts.
When and where it was the focus artwork made?
Describe the general societal context and major issues and/or events
in that time & place (5 year time period).
13
Context 2 – Artistic/Stylistic Influences, Movements
Artistic Influences –Abstraction (style and process), Richard Diebenkorn, commercial art and Pop Art.
Started as a commercial artist in the late 1930s.
Began to experiment with Abstraction and Abstract Expressionism.
Art Movements - Pop Art, Abstraction
Joined the Pop Art movement in the 1960s. His subjects include consumer goods, figures and landscapes.
Uses the bright colors and simplified designs that identify Pop Art, and that are also connected with commercial art.
Abstraction is seen in his method of breaking images into geometric shapes forming a flattened image.
Context 2: Stylistic context - artist’s artistic influences, art movements,
and/or artistic innovation (if any).
14
Context 2 – Artistic/Stylistic Innovation
Innovation – Using an aerial perspective (literally looking down from above) from a steeply angled point of view.
Thiebaud uses this type of perspective and point of view (POV) in all landscapes and for most figures and still life images too.
Context 2 continued.
NOT ALL ARTISTS have made an innovation.
Innovation means that they do something new and/or different.
If your artist does not have one,
you MAY skip this but still do Influences and Inspirations.
15
Theme #1 Theme: Art and Community
Community - PLACE –
The subject of GREEN RIVER DIVIDE is a landscape of fields and a river. The title names the place.
Thiebaud himself is strongly linked to northern California.
To Thiebaud, and to his viewers, this landscape is recognizable.
Elaine O’Brien, Sacramento State art professor, described Thiebaud’s connection to the Sacramento area:
“When you go to Southern France and you look around, you say, ‘That’s a Cézanne,’ ” she says. “Thiebaud does that. He gives us our [sense of place] like no one else does.” (Kuz)
Theme 1: Using the themes you identified, your research and the subject of the art work, identify and explain 1 or 2 themes for this art work.
16
Thiebaud - Content
In ways large and small, Mr. Thiebaud’s celebration and appreciation of the ordinary — “the flotsam and jetsam of middle-American life” as the philosopher Richard Wollheim once put it — is resonant of his home turf, the California sense of optimism.
“Wayne has the character of this place in his bones,” said Lial Jones, the director of the Crocker. “There’s a directness about him, an ease, a humbleness.”
Both quotes are from NY Times article, “Home Sweet California”
Thiebaud’s art is more about a connection to place, and to popular culture and personal experience and memory - not about social or political issues.
CONTENT Artist’s intended content? FOR 1 PIECE ANALYZED
1. What is the artist’s intended message/meaning (content) expressed in this specific piece?
17
Content – My Interpretation
Thiebaud helps the viewer to see that world in new and innovative ways. His images impart a simple, clear beauty.
He creates an abstract simplified world of jewel-toned colors, geometric and organic shapes that form representational subjects.
The abstract treatment of the design and subject limits the implied meaning or message (content) making it more of a WYSIWYG* content.
*WYSIWYG – “what you see is what you get” (from early Apple computers)

CONTENT – My Interpretation for 1 piece analyzed.
2. What was your response to and interpretation of the content of this artwork?
18
Conclusion – 1 & 2
GREEN RIVER VALLEY is typical of Wayne Thiebaud’s body of work: in art form, subject and style. It is an acrylic painting of an farm landscape depicted as if it is seen from the air. The style is a combination of representation and abstraction.
Thiebaud’s typical content and theme is the experience of the everyday world shown through images of places, things and people that are part of everyday culture presented as abstracted reality.

No size or location.
CONCLUSION
1. How does your piece fit into the artist’s body of work in art form, subject and style?
2. How does this art work fit into the artist’s typical theme and content?
19
CONCLUSION – 3
I believe Thiebaud does succeed by depicting the natural landscape as an abstract, patchwork-quilt. Thiebaud’s paintings are personal expression for the artist of his connection to a place and our experience of the world around us. He is not an “issue-oriented” artist.
CONCLUSION
Is this art work successful in communicating both the visual idea and the content intended by the artist?

Conclusion 4 – Why Thiebaud?
4. I chose Wayne Thiebaud because I enjoy landscapes and cityscapes from a different point of view. I also like his use of color and abstraction within the recognizable image. He is very influential on at least one of my series of paintings.

All citations be complete per MLA Style Sheet.
Use EasyBib, Noodle Tools or other builder.
LOOK on the site for a citation or for required information.
Give URLs (web addresses) if possible. If not, skip that.

Copy the URL of the actual source, if you can, and give that.
Citations should be single spaced, with an added space between entries.

No numbering.
Bullets will be accepted if you cannot change that format.

Bibliography Notes – Formatting Issues in PPT
Formatting issues in PPT
PPT does not like to do a correctly formatted MLA list. Copy and paste from a document. I pasted this in from a Word document then adjusted size, etc.
IF YOU CANNOT DO HANGING INDENT – then do not worry about it. Use bullets instead.
Slide layout – BLANK or title only. You may use more than one slide but list should be continuous.
Do your best to format the slide (list), but I am more interested in the actual sources and their citations.
COMPRESS YOUR IMAGES
COMPRESSION STEPS:
Click on any picture in your presentation.
Look at the top menu for Picture Tools and click on Format under it.
In that toolbar look to the left for Compress Pictures icon and click on it.
In the pop up box click Options.
Uncheck Apply Only …
Choose e-mail (96 ppi) size or use document resolution.
CLICK OK.
Then you must SAVE your presentation for size to be reduced.
29
Power Point tips– better presentations
AVOID busy backgrounds. The art work and your words are important, not the background. Plain is better!
AVOID dark text on dark backgrounds and light text on light background. This will upset your audience and me!
AVOID unreadable fonts.
ANIMATION only works if it stops or goes away.
DO NOT EMBED VIDEO or Fonts.
Use a hyperlink or put the actual URL or web address in the slide.
Use basic fonts – avoid non-standard fonts.
